GRAMMY® Award-Winning Funk/R&B/Soul Artist JON CLEARY & THE ABSOLUTE MONSTER GENTLEMEN have been at the forefront of the ever-evolving New Orleans music scene for thirty-five years. Their 2025 album "The Bywater Sessions" brings their sound back home, both figuratively and literally. Recorded live in Cleary's home studio in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans, "The Bywater Sessions" is a musical tour-de-force that showcases the grit, funk and joy that's packed concert halls from New Orleans to Tokyo and beyond, it's a stunning collection of performances that affirms Cleary's place in the New Orleans musical vanguard. Cleary and The Absolute Monster Gentlemen electrify audiences with their deeply rooted yet forward-looking take on New Orleans funk and R&B. The lineup includes: Cornel Williams (bass), Thomas Gals (drums), Pedro Segundo (percussion), Charlie Halloran (trombone), and Aaron Narcisse (saxophone).
"He's the eighth wonder of the world," says BONNIE RAITT. "Music as broad, deep, and rolling as the Mississippi River" states ROLLING STONE. "[Jon Cleary's] songwriting is pure New Orleans," claims NPR.
